  Auckland is not short of all right quality Malaysian restaurants, so our expectations for this place was very high, and the owner must be brave to open another Malaysian restaurant in such a competitive market.But oh boy! This place is the next level. The fish head noodle soup is hands down The BEST fish head noodle soup in town. The rich, umami soup with perfect amount of pickle cabbages. Generous servings accompanied by the amazing (but super spicy) chillies source. Took me right back to the streets of Ipoh! Husband had the nasi lemak beef rendang. Beautifully cooked coconut rice, beef melt in your mouth, delicious sambal and anchovies. Husband said he prefers more chuncky beef cubes, but I’m much rather having this delicious melt in your mouth beef brisket. One thing we both agreed though, it’s delicious!The owner came and check on the food and REALLY sincerely asked for feedback. She really cares about how customers rate the dishes and really taken the feedbacks on board. This is very important for a business and it’s certainly boost our confidence in this place.With nice little finds like this, we just wanna keep coming back for more. We would recommend anyone to give this place a go and keep this place going!Oh one thing, can we please have Kopi O on the menu as well please.

  You wouldn’t expect much from a newly opened restaurant but this place looks to be doing ok. It says they are open for breakfast but they weren’t open until about 1100 when we went.They have quite a few tables so once you go in grab a table and you get a menu and water. Once you’re ready, go to the counter to order and pay. The menu isn’t super large but does have quite a few Malaysian favourites. We just ordered a regular size and the portions were decent for that. We ordered their chicken satay, Chicken Laksa, char kueh teow and chicken rice. It didn’t take too long for the food to come out, around 10 minutes. The food came as it was ready so we ended up having the satay last. The satay had a nice flavour, the sauce was quite nice but not very spicy. The char kueh teow was quite nice, good char flavour (almost burnt but not) but it was a bit on the salty side. The laksa was also quite nice, good flavour. The chicken rice was ok, a fairly small portion of chicken and the rice didn’t have that nice oil rice flavour. The soup had a good chicken flavour to it though.The food here is really nice. Hopefully it will get better with more experience.

  Dinner for two at Ipoh tonight as it’s only a stone throw away from home and we actually haven’t been since it opened about a month ago. We ordered Fish Head Noodles and Chicken Curry Laksa as mains and Otak-otak to share. The main meals are very yummy and are definitely authentic but I was let down by the Otak-otak which was not wrapped in banana leaves and didn’t taste or look like the real Otak-otak at all. Also the room was very cold with no heating for customers. There was a guy who asked for it and a gas heater was brought out and turned on but as soon as he left, it was turned off again. I get a feeling this is more of a takeaway outlet than a proper restaurant, as you might get a cold dining in. I’m a Malaysian and would like to support all Malaysian food outlets but sorry I can’t give a 5/5 for Ipoh. I think a 4 would be quite generous Edited 11/06/19 – visited Ipoh again and this time ordered Char Kuey Teow, Nasi Lemak with Chicken Curry sauce. Very yummy and authentic …photos added. Note that they have also improved the heating hence I’ve changed the rating from 4 to 5
